Application Note
Derating:
The case operating temperature range of the PS100W series is -40°C to +100°C. When operating the PS100W series, proper derating
or cooling is required.
Following is the derating curve for the PS100W without a heatsink; airflow along width (transverse).
Where:
The power dissipated (Pd):
Pd = Pi - Po = Po (1-n) / n
The thermal resistances are listed below:
